This insightful review by Adam R. Shapiro really gets at the heart of the new National Museum of American History exhibition that I’ve been working on with @plmanseau. Check it out if you want to know more about religion, science, and the kinds of stories we are telling about them in this exhibit.

I’m really excited to be working with Andrew Mark Henry on a super secret special project for this fall. Stay tuned, and thank you American Academy of Religion and Henry Luce Foundation! aarweb.org/AARMBR/Publica…

Can’t wait to read this, and… can every academic book please come with a playlist? This is awesome.

I spent last summer meditating with Muse, an EEG headset that turns your brain data into music. With the Ministry of Ideas team, I interviewed John Lardas Modern and CEO Ariel Garten. I experienced techno-immanence & a panic attack. This is that story. bit.ly/39JXpYx

Woooooo!

I had so much fun going from super-fan to guest on the Keeping It 101: A Killjoy's Intro to Religion Pod podcast. Come for @ProfIRMF and @mpgPhD’s humor and brilliance, and stay for their nuanced look at museums, imperialism, and the choices we make to represent religion in public spaces. So honored.

1. It is with great sadness that we learn the news of Bruno Latour’s passing today. He was an intellectual giant, a friend, & someone whose work inspired me greatly. A thread for those who want to know more about this extraordinary life.

“Day 88” is finally out! Last summer I made a sci-fi audio play with a bunch of my multi-talented friends, a tragic comedy about an A.I. that induces religious experiences. The soundtrack is amazing, @STSchorey wrote brilliantly, and every actor other than myself just nailed it!

"Day 88" was written, dramatized, and produced by Andrew Aghapour, Atéha Bailly, and Shannon Trosper Schorey #publichumanities #headphonespirituality UNC Religious Studies Harvard Divinity Andrew Ali Aghapour @STSchorey Jo Atto @ProfIRMF Kevin Morgenstein Fuerst Henry Luce Foundation
